NEW ORLEANS — The city of New Orleans will sell 1,786 adjudicated properties across the city through a new online auction process. The sale will provide winning bidders with full ownership of each property and with guaranteed title insurance. A property is adjudicated to the city when its property taxes have not been paid — becoming delinquent — and the city is unable to sell the property at a tax sale. The city will only auction properties where five years have elapsed from the date of an attempted tax sale. The first online auctions are expected to take place this summer.
